Adding an fsync() in the write_db_entry() call would probably make sense.

However, note the funny part here- if we sync our DB entries, and then your machine gets powered off, you might end up with a DB that got committed but files in the package never actually got written to disk.

Do we know that for sure? It depends on how libarchive is written, right?
